You know damn well the track record being evaluated is his first three years during which Bidens primary accomplishment was to unwind everything Trump did and then lets the migrants roll in denying there any problem at all.Huh. Let's check that.
In 2020, the last year of Trump's Presidency, expulsions under Title 42 (which was the main mechanism of "everything Trump did") totaled
400K. (Remember, the FY runs Oct to Sept).
In 2021, the first year of Biden's Presidency, expulsions under Title 42 totaled
600K.
In 2022, total expulsions under Title 42 were
1,054K.
Sure doesn't seem like he spent the first three years unwinding everything Trump did. It actually looks like he kept in place the
main element of Trump's border policy, which were the Covid-based Title 42 expulsions.
Indeed, Title 42 expulsions were continuing on that million-per-year pace until April of 2023. At which point the end of the Covid epidemic, as well as some SCOTUS decisions, made it completely untenable to argue that those expulsions were based on Covid protections any further.
Weird. It doesn't look like Biden "unwound" Trump's policies during his first three years in office. You could certainly argue that he didn't respond to the massive increase in numbers of people trying to get here, but not that he stopped using the tools we had in place.
